Scairp Dubh (G)
FAV
[P]
Made a successful debut over fences in 13-runner C&D handicap (good) 17 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Has the potential for better so a 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him.

Tell Me Again (G)
Looked very limited in Ireland but didn't get the chance to show whether he can do better for new yard over C&D 17 days ago, hampered and unseating at the fourth. The fact he was a 33/1 shot doesn't suggest confidence was high, though.

Passengerontheship (G)
[T]
Runner-up 3 times in handicap hurdles last spring. Travelled well but didn't find for pressure when sixth on 2½m Newcastle chase debut in March. Possible excuses when pulled up over 3m here since. The first-time tongue tie he wore on that …

Out On Her Own (M)
[H1]
Placed in handicap hurdles this spring, including over 2m here last time. A point win provides hope that she'll take to fences. Hooded for the first time. Enters calculations.

Gone With The Tide (G)
[P]
Irish point winner but little form over hurdles for current yard. It remains to be seen whether a switch to fences sparks an upturn in her fortunes.

Lewa House (G)
[T1V1]
Poor handicap hurdler/chaser who pulled up over 3m here on his latest start in March. His regular cheekpieces are discarded and replaced by a first-time tongue strap and visor combination.

Reliance Kid (G)
[T1]
Has promised more than he's delivered in a pair of 3m handicaps here since switching to fences and it's possible a drop back in trip and addition of a tongue strap will help him to find more where it matters.
